Eating a po boy outside of New Orleans is like eating a crab cake outside of Maryland.

Not quite true. Not just for NOLA, though maybe that is the only place anyone here would go in that state. You can get great food (and REAL po boys), in Baton Rouge, any of the small swamp towns, my hometown, etc. Louisiana is more than NOLA.

I live a couple of blocks from Kenny's and really don't like it, especially the collards.

I'm with Hoya on this one.

But.. i haven't found any bbq in DC that i really like. It's just not the style i'm used to coming from the south. When having a craving, i usually go with Rocklands, but they don't even have pulled pork and it's a trek, so meh.

Same with muffulettas, jambalaya, gumbo, and the rest.

I've been all over Louisiana and didn't have a bad meal anywhere...just using NOLA as an example.

A few of the food trucks have pretty decent bbq. Also, there's been a food truck in Bethesda for years prior to food trucks being cool that has pretty awesome bbq. It sits in the lot that has that random kind of flea market on the weekends.

Cool, but it seemed like you were saying ONLY New Orleans, and dismissing any other place, which would include the rest of the state.
